“The most important thing in captivity is to know that you are being remembered. If people talk about you, the prisoners, and fight for your release, then, in principle, you can endure almost anything,” says Maksym Butkevych — Ukrainian journalist and human rights defender, veteran of the war against Russia’s invasion, who himself endured Russian captivity.

The Solidarity Emblem for prisoners of war was developed by the charitable Principle of Hope foundation, co-founded by Maksym Butkevych. However, it does not belong to any organization. It is a shared public symbol — a way to support thousands of families waiting for their loved ones, to keep this issue visible, and to prevent it from fading from the public space.
In the downloadable archive, you will find logo files in various formats, as well as designs for stickers, badges, flags, patches, and T-shirts — available in Ukrainian and English.

Join in. Use the emblem on your platforms, on social media, on banners, flags, stickers, badges, and leaflets.

Do not forget those who are currently held in Russian captivity. Speak about them. Write about them. Share their stories. And even in moments of silence — let the Solidarity Emblem speak for you.
